Politicians conflicted by NRA

I like to consider myself an older, responsible gun owner who has a permit to carry. But somehow, in all of this chatter regarding the Second Amendment and gun ownership, I'veo become confused as to what is wrong with registering guns and banning assault weapons that will never be used to hunt an animal other than another human.

I am saddened by the number of our elected representatives sent to Washington who no longer act independently, but are beholden to just one large interest group, the National Rifle Association. Perhaps the NRA should change their name to the National Weapons Association, this would be more appropriate, as their power base is no longer in teaching the young to responsibly own and handle rifles, but lobbying for the entire weapons industry.
